Math<T>.Log1PlusX Method

public static T Log1PlusX(
	T x
)

Public Shared Function Log1PlusX ( 
	x As T
) As T

public:
static T Log1PlusX(
	T x
)

static member Log1PlusX : 
        x : 'T -> 'T 

Parameters

x  T

A real number greater than -1.

Return Value

For small values of x, the logarithm of 1 + x is close to zero. When the logarithm is evaluated directly, this can cause significant round-off error. This function resolves this problem by using a direct approximations for x close to 1.
